I first changed my filters right after buying our boat. I was concerned when the previous owner informed me he had never changed them (owned I think 6 years). However, when changing them I was surprised how clean things seemed. I just changed my filters again after 3 seasons .... Again seemingly very clean. In the meantime I have checked my Racor very frequently and rarely drained very minor amounts of water/slime. Since my boat is 1994 I feel I should at least fully drain and polish the fuel, but haven't "bit the bullet" on doing that yet.
I use a 10 micron racor filter and a Perkins OEM engine filter. Does anyone know what micron the Perkins spin on filter is? I think I read somewhere previously it is 2 micron, but Perkins won't reply to my inquiry about this.
